TAXI Harry Chapin
# C/G = 032013
[D]It was raining hard in Frisco
I needed [C/G]one more [G]fair to make my [D]night
[D]A lady up ahead waved to flag me down
[C/G]she got [G]in at the [D]light
[D]"Where you going to my lady blue,
It's a [C/G]shame you ruined your [G]gown in the [D]rain,"
[D]She just looked out the window, she said
[C/G]"Sixteen [G]Parkside [D]lane"
[D]Something about her was familier,
I could [C/G]swear I'd seen that [G]face be[D]fore
[D]But she said "I'm sure you're mistaken"
and she [C/G]didn't say [G]anything [D]more
It took a while but she looked in the mirror
Then she [C/G]glanced at the [G]licence for my [D]name
A smile seemed to come to her slowly
It was a [C/G]sad [G]smile just the [D]same
And she [C/G]said [G]"How are you [D]Harry"
I [C/G]said [G]"how are you [D]Sue"
Through the [G]too many miles and [D]too little smiles
I [C/G]still [G]remember [D]you
It was somewhere in a fairy tail
I [C/G]used to take her [G]home in my [D]car
We learned about love in the back of a Dodge
The [C/G]lessons hadn't [G]gone too [D]far
You see she was going to be an actress
And [Am]I was gonna learn to [D]fly
She took off to find the footlights,
I [C/G]took [G]off to find the [D]sky
[C]I've got something inside me, t[Bm]o make a princesess b[Em]lind
Theres a [C]wild [Em]man [Am]wiz-[Em]ard [C]he's hiding in [Am]me,
[D]illuminatin' my [Em]mind
[C]I've got something inside me, no[Bm]t what my life's a[Em]bout
Cause [C]I've [Em]been [Am]letting [Em]my [C]outside [Em]tide [Am]me [F]
over till my time runs ou[Bm]t
[D]There was not much more for us to talk about
What[C/G]ever we [G]had once was [D]gone
So I turned my cab into the driveway
Past the [C/G]gate and the [G]fine trimmed [D]lawn
[D]And she said "We must get together",
But I [C/G]knew it never [G]be [D]arranged
So she hand me twen-ty doll-ar for a two fifty fare
She said [C/G]"Harry, [G]keep the [D]change"
Well, [D]another man [Am]might have been [D]angry,
and [G]another man [C/G]might have been [D]hurt
But [D]another man [Am]never would have [D]let her go
[C]I stashed the [G]bill in my [D]shirt
And she [G]walked away in [D]silence
[C/G]It's strange how you [G]never [D]know
But we'd both gottem what we'd asked for
Such a [C/G]long, [G]time [D]ago
You see [G]she was gonna be an [D]actress,
And [C/G]I was going to [G]learn to [D]fly
She took off to find the footlights,
[C/G]I took [G]off to find the [D]sky
And [G]now she's acting [D]happy,
In[G]side her handsome [D]halls
And me I'm flying in my taxi
Taking [C/G]tips,[G] and getting [D]stoned
I go [G]fly - ing so [A7]high
When I'm [D]stoned
